==d2== [[Image:D2.gif|thumb|200px|left|A d2. Careful not to spend it all in one place.]] [[Image:Actual d2.jpg|thumb|200px|A more literal version that definitevely costs more than the penny you could be using instead, it can double as a less hazardous d4 however]] A d2 isn't a die - it's a coin. You flip the fucking thing. Heads count as 1, Tails count as 2. You can, alternately, roll any other die - counting odds as 1 and evens as 2. ===In Various Works=== d2s are used with disturbing frequency in both CCGs and RPGs. They are used in most two player card games, with the notable exception of [[Yu-Gi-Oh]] using rock paper scissors as the preferred method, to determine who gets the first turn. Since this requires players have a coin to play ''anyways'', most TCGs have some oddball cards that use coin flips for random effects. They rarely show up in serious matches because the vast majority of these would be crap even if you ''could'' ensure the outcome. The [[Pokemon]] TCG bucked the trend of this being unusual and (especially early on) has such effects be common. The RPG ''Bean!'' is a d2-based game, and it's actually pretty good. Loaded d2s, known as double sided coins, are extremely popular in fiction. This is probably because they're the easiest die to recognize as/prove is loaded, and the most consistent. ===Also Currency=== The d2 are the only dice you can put in a vending machine and spend for candy. With string and a sufficient dexterity score, you don't even have to "spend" the d2 at all (This only works on 50 year old or so vending machines). {{clear}}
